Rajendra Lal has now given a facsimile of the Pehewa inscription the date of which he says is " unmistakeably Samvat 279." (See p. 97.)

[...] My reading of the name of Huvishka in the Wardak inscription and my identification of this prince with the ituvishka of the Mathura inscriptions and also with the Hushka of"1864.1 Pehewa Inscription of Raja.71114a. [...] Dowson writes as follows regarding Rajendra's translation of the Wardak inscription — Before proceeding to criticise I will perform the more grateful task of applauding the success he has achieved especially the reading of the name of the Icing and in identifying him with the Hushka of the Raja Tarangini. [...] The original paper of which a brief abstract was given in the Journal of the Society 1861 page 418 had been ordered for publication by the Council of the Society but some delay occurred in the preparation of the plates to illustrate it in consequence of the author having temporarily left India at the time and it was not issued.
